Near Kiau, alt. 2500 feet ( Haviland, 1361). 
Saurauja amena belongs to the group of S. feroz, but its flowers are larger than in 
any one of the allied species. The venation of the leaves is very similar to that of S. seti- 
gera, Korth., and particularly a specimen collected by Beccari in Sumatra, at Ajer Mantjoer 
in Padang, 715; but these differ in the size as well as in the indumentum of the 
flowers. à 
SAURAUJA ACTINIDIIFOLIA, Stapf, n. sp.  Ramuli squamulis lanceolatis primo dense 
vestiti, mox vero glabrati, pallidi. Folia petiolo indumento consimili vestito 8-9 
lin. longo suffulta, elliptica vel subovata, 3-44 poll. longa, 11-2 poll. lata, basi 
subrotunda vel vix acuta, acuminata, setuloso-serrulata, supra setulis brevissimis 
aspersa vel glabrata, subopaca, obscure brunea, subtus in costá squamulis iis petioli 
similibus, in nervis squamulis vel setulis minutis adpressis laxe vestita, pallida, nervis 
lateralibus angulo 45° ortis subrectis, sub ipso margine prorsus curvatis, utrinque 10- 
14, 3-31 lin. inter se distantibus, venulis transversis subtus ob colorem obscurum valde 
conspicuis, vix 1 lin. a sese remotis, numerosis, angulo 50°—60° ortis, subsigmatoideis. 
Flores axillares, solitarii. Pedicelli graciles, 9-12 lin. longi, laxe squamulosi, sub 
medio bracteolá ovatá muniti. Sepala ima basi connata, insequalia, exteriora 3 
rotundato-ovata, 4 lin. longa, 3 lin. lata, acuta vel obtusiuscula, extus paleis 
lineari-subulatis hirsutulis adpressis lave vestita, intus glabra, interiora 2 angus- 
tiora, oblonga, obtusa, extus paleis perpaucis obsita. Petala et stamina ignota. 
Ovarium (semimaturum) subglobosum, sepalis persistentibus superatum ; styli 5 
filiformes. 
At 7000 feet (Haviland, 1232). 
The leaves are very like those of Actinidia strigosa, Hook. fil. & Th., whence the 
specific name. A very distinct species of the group of S. Reimwardtiana, Blume, well 
characterized by the paleaceous indumentum, the delicate but conspicuous venation, and 
the very much reduced inflorescence. 
SCHIMA BREVIFOLIA, Baillon, Hist. des Plantes, iv. 254 (adnot.); Stapf, in Hook. Ic. Pl. 
t. 2264.—Syn. Gordonia brevifolia, Hook. fil. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxiii. 162. 
From 8000 to 11,000 feet (Low ; Haviland, 1126, 1127). 
Sir Joseph Hooker has pointed out that “the capitate central receptacle of the 
capsule agrees with Blume's character of Reinwardt's genus Schima.” S. brevifolia is 
allied to S. Noronhe, Reinw., but it may easily be recognized by the stunted growth, the 
small and crowded leaves, and the larger flowers.
